Press featuring seven inking units, two coaters to be installed in Silvassa (1) — Saket Kanoria, CEO of TCPL Packaging (3rd from left) and the companyâ€™s management team â€“ here with representatives from KBA and IPM â€“ ordered three Rapida 106 with a total of 26 printing and finishing units

Saket Kanoria, CEO of TCPL Packaging and the company’s management team with representatives from KBA and IPM ordered three more Rapida 106 with a total of 26 printing and finishing units. The first new Rapida will begin its journey to the TCPL plant in Silvassa in autumn 2016. It features seven inking units and two coaters, produces conventionally as well as with UV inks/coating and will be embedded in pile logistics. A six and a 7-color Rapida 106 with coater are expected to follow in early 2017. One will go to the company’s plant in Haridwar and the location for the other has not yet been decided. The main reasons for the new investment in KBA sheetfed offset presses are the presses’ high output, the excellent support from KBA and sales partner IPM, and KBA’s recognized poll position in UV production.

TCPL Packaging operates three sheetfed offset sites. The third is in Guwahati. The company is accredited with all the usual certificates for quality management and the production of food packaging. Founded in 1990, the packaging printer employs 1,200 staff today. Many of the company’s products have won awards.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
